Gull-billed Tern

[Tim Foltz]

1DMKIII • 500 mm • 1/2500 • f/6.3 • ISO 400 • handheld • manual

A rare one from the from the archives, I have only seen these one time.
These are predatory terns and will feed on newly hatched chicks.

Thanks for looking.

Wow Tim, what an interesting bird! I like how the black wing-tips compliment the black face. Only critique I see is what may be a sensor spot missed just below the bird's left wing tip.
